THE    CLERGY-HOUSE    ASSOCIATION,    OF    SALUDA,    NORTH 
CAROLINA,   was   organized  under   the   laws   of   the   State   of   North 
Carolina  in  1893.      The  object  of  the  Association  is  to  afford  a  restful 
and  healthful  summer  home  to  such  of  the  Ministers  of  the  Church  and  their 
families  as  live  in  hot  or  malarial  climates,  who  need  change  and  more  bracing 
atmosphere. 

It  is  the  desire  of  the  Association  to  give  rest  and  change  to  those  Ministers 
who,  by  reason  of  limited  means,  small  salaries  or  sickness,  are  unable  to  travel 
or  go  to  expensive  resorts,  and  the  Missionaries  of  the  Church  are  to  be  first 
considered. 

We  own  seven  and  three-fourths  acres  of  land  in  Saluda,  N.  C,  beautifully 
situated,  and  we  aim  to  build  additional  plain  houses,  furnish  them  simply,  and 
offer  them,  rent  free,  each  summer,  to  Ministers  of  the  Southern  Dioceses  and 
Jurisdictions  who  need  rest  and  change.  The  land  has  been  fully  paid  for, 
and  the  first  of  the  cottages,  which  the  design  contemplates,  has  been  built, 
finished  and  occupied  seven  summers  by  different  Ministers  and  their  families, 
representing  four  Southern  Dioceses. 

By  resolution  of  the  Legal  Trustees,  it  is  declared  that  the  Minister  accept- 
ing their  hospitality  is  not  thereby  under  any  obligation  to  give  his  services 
to  the  Church  of  the  Transfiguration  at  Saluda. 

We  wish  to  express  our  cordial  thanks  to  those  who  have  already  con- 
tributed, and  the  Board  of  Trustees  presents  this,  its  earnest  plea,  to  every 
reader  of  this  page,  for  aid  that  it  may  add  other  cottages  to  this  Clergy- 
Home  in  the  Mountains.  If  those  friendly  to  the  undertaking  will  aid  this 
work  generously,  we  shall  ere  long  be  in  a  position  to  bring  succor  and 
relief,  every  year,  to  at  least  a  few  of  our  Clergy  and  their  families.  We  sug- 
gest that  any  Diocese,  Parish  or  individual  might  erect  a  building,  and  invite 
correspondence  with  the  President,  who  will  gladly  give  all  information. 

To  make  known  the  work  of  the  Clergy-House  Association,  and  the  offer 
of  the  summer  home,  this  leaflet  shall  be  distributed  in  the  Dioceses  interested, 
and  Ministers  are  invited  to  make  application  to  the  President ;  but  in  every 
case  the  request  must  be  accompanied  by  a  letter  of  approval  from  the  Bishop, 
with  his  personal  endorsement. 

The  occupant  of  the  Clergy-House  shall  be  selected  from  the  Dioceses  in 
rotation,  as  far  as  possible,  and  this  leaflet  will  be  mailed  in  April  of  each  year 
to  the  Ministers  of  the  Diocese,  whose  time  it  is  to  use  the  House.  Applications 
should  be  made  prior  to  the  first  of  May.  To  insure  the  House  being  occupied 
all  of  each  summer,  three  applications  will  be  considered,  and  should  one  Minister 


and  his  family  he  obliged  to  leave,  the  second  or  third  applicant  will  be  notified 
that  the  House  is  ready  for  his  occupancy. 

In  order  the  more  fully  to  reach  its  aim,  of  helpfulness  to  the  Clergy,  the 
Association  offers  twenty-five  dollars  to  meet  the  personal  traveling  expenses  of 
the  Minister  accepting  its  hospitality. 

It  is  understood  that  the  use  of  the  cottage  is  intended  for  those,  only,  whose 
dependence  is  upon  their  "living  of  the  Gospel,"  and  preferably  the  Missionaries 
of  the  Church. 

The  Woman's  Auxiliary  of  the  Association  has  special  charge  of  the  House, 
and  its  members  are  always  ready  to  aid  the  Minister  and  his  family,  so  that 
they  may  enjoy  the  benefits  to  be  derived  from  the  salubrious  atmosphere,  and 
be  able  to  return  to  their  Master's  work  strengthened  in  soul  and  body. 

The  time  appointed  for  the  Annual  Meeting  of  the  Association  is  the 
second  Monday  in  August  of  each  year.  All  Trustees  and  members  of  the 
Association  are  requested  to  attend,  and  all  interested  in  the  Association  are 
invited  to  be  present,  and  will  be  cordially  welcomed. 

The  initiation  fee  for  members  is  25  cents,  and  the  annual  dues  50  cents. 
Dues,  or  donations,  can  be  paid  to  the  Treasurer,  or  other  member,  and  will 
be  securely  placed  and  expended  by  the  Treasurer,  on  approval  by  the  President 
or  Executive  Committee. 

Correspondence  in  regard  to  the  enterprise  will  be  gladly  and  promptly 
attended  to  by  the  President  or  the  Secretary  and  Treasurer.
